Easy way to get noticed is say **** about people.

We couldn't get through 5 minutes of his Netflix special a few weeks ago. Terrible act.

Difference between being thin skinned and thinking someone is a tool for saying something like that. Imagine saying wrestling is for retards then comparing it to the special Olympics and saying it's not a real competition. Career suicide.

No they don't. Wrestling fans know that it's scripted so using that as some kind of insult doesn't work. It's the claim it's fake when having been in a wrestling ring once ever, it's not a mattress. It's a hard solid surface so it's clear why it hurts. My bigger issue is him having a go at the special Olympics and him saying it's wasn't a real competition. I know someone who has represented Ireland at the special Olympics and the medal they won seemed very real when I held it and also the happiness they had because they won it was real.

Very informative piece with some new information on the Nancy Argentino murder by Jimmy Snuka:

https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/jimmy-snuka-girlfriend-nancy-argentino-death

The cliff notes in terms of new information is that one Vince McMahon had pleaded with Nancy Argentino not to press charge when Snuka assaulted her in January 1983, then enlisted her to assist Snuka in making towns as he is illiterate and had a very heavy drug problem at the town. When Snuka killed Argentino in May 1983, Vince lied to police and claimed that he was unaware Snuka had been violent toward her in the past. Which is added to the story Snuka himself told in his book that Vince went into a meeting with police with a briefcase, and then left without it.

What a grossly immoral piece of s**t Vince really is.

Wait hold up? You don’t like Vince??

I feel like the more that comes out about the Jimmy Snuka case the more it will haunt Vince in the long term. He can't escape it now. The deeper people dig the more they will find. If we got a documentary series about the Nancy Argentino murder like Tiger King it would really open people's eyes to it.

Vince is the Carole Baskin to Monokne’s Joe Exotic.

I'd say we have only heard the tip of the iceberg with McMahon.

If you like but keep in mind that, whatever way you look at it, that makes you the person who follows whoever I am around for years obsessively heckling me off camera who the producers deemed too weird to put in the f’n Tiger King. :pac:

Jesus is right. Just from that picture Alberto looks like he's orbiting the earth.

Didn’t Paige say he’s murder for the devils dandruff?

There was a lot of stuff said about both of them at the time so it's very possible she said that.

Gas. Alberto is only 42. Still should be in WWE making millions of dollars. One of very few Mexican wrestlers to be a main eventer in the company and he throws it all away.

Eddy, rey, and Alberto ? If that's the list then you're right it's a very short list.

Stop. The phrase a picture speaks volumes comes to mind. I don't know what he's on but he's clearly not just drinking water.

Eddie and Rey are American born and breed of Mexican decent.

Alberto is true Mexican born.

You could argue that, and you'd be correct. But of Mexican heritage it's really only Rey, eddy and Alberto himself.

I'm not surprised about Alberto tho. I forget the wrestler who said it but accordingly the Mexican scene is full of cocaine and even heroin. Think it was X-Pac.

And since Alberto cut his teeth there it's no shock sadly he's on it. Messed up.

Didnt Alberto show up in Coppers a few years ago ?

Well as we know from wrestlemania 12 and the hbk entrance, vince didn't/won't ask anybody to do something he wouldn't do. Although at his age I'd assumed that he wouldn't actually do it.

That article really doesn’t reflect well on Gronkowski at all. That dive was safer than running the ropes with all the bulk there to catch him. I get that he was probably focused on returning to handegg at that point and might have been terrified of picking up an injury, but why is he doing anything wrestling related in that case?

Don’t blame Vince for embarrassing him.

Yes, but as has also been established, Vince McMahon is a functional insane person.

Maybe that's a bit too far. There's that great story about the Dudley Boyz where they did a move to Mae Young in the ring, and Bubba Dudley was as gentle with her as he possibly could be. When they got to the back, Mae grabbed his arm and said, "Hey, hot-shot. When you slam me, I want you to slam me like one of the boys."

The next thing they did with Mae was to powerbomb her off the stage. Bubba said that in performing this move, Mae pretty much led it and threw herself off the stage. She also farted in Bubba's face upon impact.

Point being that an old timer may look frail, but they're really tough in actuality. I guess Vince falls under that heading. Still don't know how he, at 74, gets by on a few hours of sleep a night before heading down to the gym for a workout, and then doing a whole day's work.
